"Best B & B " 10/6/2010


Stayed On: 8/2010

As Civil War Reenactor's when we saw this place on line we had to give it a try. What a wonderful time we had at Hallauer House! It definately lived up to and beyond our expectations.The room was great and comfortable. The snack's and the drink's in the fridge were great after coming back from a long day at the Pontiac National's in Norwalk. Our hosts Joe and Sue were great in every aspect! Not a more warm and inviting couple of people have I ever met. The breakfast's were beyond expectation ! We very much appricated the pool as it was very refreshing in the evening. We also enjoyed having Duke around as we ate breakfast buy the pool! Anyone visiting anywhere near the Oberlin area doesn't know what they"re missing if they don't stay here. We are looking forward to returning again!

THANK YOU!!!

A Special Restaurant for a Special Occasion!

Sometimes a special occasion requires a special dinner and that's what Joe and I needed to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. Just this past month we have had several guests report to us that they enjoyed a very special meal at one of the area's best known restaurants. We had been to this restaurant many, many years ago so we decided it was time to make a return visit.

The restaurant of which I speak is Chez Francois located at 555 Main Street in Vermilion, Ohio. The indoor restaurant is very formal and does have a dress code that requires business type attire and jackets and ties for the men. No flip flops here! But because the evening was warm and the sky beautiful, we opted to sit outside where the dining experience is casual but sophisticated and I felt comfortable in my white shorts! We had a corner table over looking the canal opposite some beautiful homes and many, many boat docks. It actually felt a little like sitting on a dock at Key West! Even though we were outside casual, we were treated as if we were inside formal. The wine list was so extensive that it was in book form with many pages listing and describing wines from all regions of the world. The ingredients are locally grown, extremely fresh, and provided by various vendors.

Our meal consisted of our wine selection, an appetizer, salad, soda bread, Joe had Filet de Boeuf Wellington à la Périgourdine while I dined on Suprême de Volaille aux Noisettes et aux Crustacés. Both selections were absolutely delicious! We mentioned when we arrived that it was our anniversary so we were surprised with a luscious dessert that we both shared.

Throughout the year, Chez Francois presents many specialty dinners such as The Australian Wine Dinner, the Gourmet Clam Bake, Piedmont & Truffles Wine Dinner, the Spanish Wine Dinner, the Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Dinner, A Truffle Dinner, and a New Year's Eve Party. For complete information on the restaurant and all of their specials visit their website and subscribe to the Chez Newsletter. Their hours are:

Tuesday, Wed., and Thurs. 5:00-9:00 p.m.

Friday, Sat., and Sunday - 5:00 - 10:00 p.m.

They are closed on Mondays

Their phone number is 440.967.0630.

And once again we show you that many fine things can be found in Northeast Ohio. Come and explore. Come and dine. Come and stay! You know you want to!

Here is what guests had to say...
"Best BNB in OHIO!!"
8/3/2010

Stayed On: 7/2010
"We spent 5 consecutive nights in various BNBs in North Ohio. This one was by far our favorite! "Attention to details" is an understatement. I can't say what amazed me more - the fascinating artifacts and decor, the beautiful garden, the extra amenities(wifi, stocked fridge, pool, etc.), the lovely music room or the OVER THE TOP breakfasts. OK, being a foodie, the breakfast was definitely my favorite part. Exquisite table settings and wide variety of hot tea options was a treat. I loved the egg and cheese quiche we had on the first morning, served on an elegant bed of fresh spinach. The puffed pancakes with fresh peaches and blueberries was one of the most beautiful presentations I have ever seen - and it tasted even better. I could go on and on... Susan and Joe are the ultimate hosts, not only willing to share their knowledge and expertise, but also very interested in getting to know us. If we should chance again on a visit to Ohio, we would definitely make a special point to visit Hallauer House again".

And again, thank you to the guest reviewer! We love giving our guests a great B & B experience! Come and visit! You'll be glad you did!

Happy Guests!

Received an email today from some very happy guests from this past weekned so I thought I would share their comments. Thank you Bob and Judy and Al and Patty. You were all great guests and we really enjoyed having you. You came as strangers but you left as our friends. Thank you!

"Joe and Susan,

Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay with you last weekend. The House is beautiful, the rooms extraordinarily comfortable, the food tremendous and the conversation was best of all. We have told other friends about your place and we will surely be back.

Have a great time in Key West! "
